A HARD STRUGGLE.
The Atlas Defeated by the Pioneers-Tf
nona

There was large attendance at SNOW
flake Park yesterday afternoon to witness
the game between the Pioneers and the
Atlas. The day was delightful. the game
interesting, and the spectators received
their moneys worth of enjoyment. The
Pioneers brought up their strongest nine'
and beth clubs were on their metal. The
new system of umpiring worked well, one
decision only being regarded doubtful. In
the eighth inning the Pioneers had sue
ceeded in getting Gagus on third base and
n. Smith on second. Mullee threw a wild
pitch, and Mclaughlin started back after
the ball. Gagus crossed the plate, and n.
Smith was running for home, when Nc
Laughlin threw the ball to Mullee at the
home plate TO shut out Smith. J. Smith
happened to be at the bat, and when he
saw that his man was about to be put out
he deliberately took stand so that when
the ball was thrown it hit him and allowed
n. Smith to score. Immediately there was
rush for the umpire, but he decided that
the run would be counted, and that ].
Smith would be fined $40 for deliberately
interfering with the ball. Captain Powers
notified the scorer that the game
would be protested. Smith no doubt
thinks he made very slick play, but,
to say the least il was a bungling attempt
at . bulldozing," which every one noticed.
After this decision Mullee declined 10 play,
and went to the dressing-room, amid the
cheers of the crowd, but was afterwards in
duced to return to the diamond. He was
quite nervous during the game, and
Mclaughlin had all he could do TO keep
track of the ball. Billy" caught great
game, and his throwing to second could hot
be improved upon. Newbert played good
game. his error being excusable. His home
run was made at very opportune time,
tying the score.
Anderson had little 10 do at third base
but accepted "red-hot liner " in an ele-
CANT manner. and with Powers assistance
made the only double play in the game
Cahill took charge of : fly" from Gagus
bat in a neat way, and his batting was very
effective. Meagher Flint and O'Day had
little to do, but the former made two of the
runs scored by the Atlas. For the Pioneers
n. Smith played the best ball, making
some neat plays and batting the ball hard,
Lorrigan and Carroll did good work, but
the latter 3" tanned every time he came to
the bat.
